Re: [Networker] VMware VCB support [ discontinued ? ]....

In fairness to EMC, Windows 2008 R2 was just released last fall, so not having 
support for half
a year, is the normal (stupid) development cycle.

The continuing issues with Windows DR (2008, Vista, 7, 2008 R2 -- and in many 
cases 2003 as
well) are truly unacceptable.  I'd be long gone if it wasn't so expensive to 
move to a
different product.
